Thank you for your very helpful input, I could not sleep last night thinking about what you said, so I have made some changesto my plan.
Found another side cabinet 18L X 18W X 60H. It is actually a semi truck toolbox with waterproof door (maybe light/smell prooof?)
Thinking based on what you said to put a single T5 4ft tube in every corner PLUS as much CFl overhead that I can fit in. About the same price as 4ft 4 tube T5 fixture but will spread light out to prevent funky growth pattern (leaning) you mentioned.
Thought just hang A/C computer fans from ceiling blowing towards plants for circulation BUT I saw a sweet fan for $15 at drugstore that is cylinder shaped and is similar in design to squirrel cage but oscilates. It has about a 6inch footprint, would this be better even though space is at a premium? Or hook computer fans to passive intakes to blow at plants? I know I must keep intake CFM less than out going CFM, is this another NOOB dumb idea???

Looking at stealthy addition to my huge toolbox, once gutted will be 15L X 24W X 50H. Thinking about 2 foot T5 4 or 6 tube fixture mounted on side. 6 inch passive intake running under the light, 4 inch can filter/fan combo mounted to roof. Is this OK? Not sure about adding any over head lighting at all, or should I cut back on side lighting to add overhead CFL's? Or just use all overhead CFL's? Thank you in advance Rating: 5
